- Ukrainian drones struck a Sberbank data center, escalating a campaign that earlier hit Yandex data centers.
- The Kremlin acknowledged the government is 'discussing Yandex's problems' after the strikes, while the BBC examined whether Zelensky is right that the attacks have taken down Russian bots.
Why it matters: Russia's two largest tech platforms — Sberbank and Yandex — are both absorbing direct Ukrainian strikes on physical infrastructure in sequence. The Kremlin publicly framing the disruption as a matter for government discussion signals the outages are serious enough for state-level attention, not just routine IT failures.
